After having a full disk and not managing to move my images, I decided to delete everything, start a new discourse container and use the backup. I deleted /var/discourse and did a docker system prune -a Then I followed the official guide. But… something is wrong: ./launcher rebuild app x86_64 arch detected.

Did you stop the old container? docker stop app docker rm app

Well, while that would totally be like me, this time it’s not that simple: # sudo -s # cd /var/discourse/ # docker stop app Error response from daemon: No such container: app # docker rm app Error: No such container: app I think the problem might be that I moved everything from the old default location from docker images to the new place and now the discourse docker is not able to access the filesystem it expects?

/var/run/postgresql does not exist. I have no idea why this isn’t working anymore. :cry:

I assume so. But all the other services in dockers work as intended! It’s just discourse that won’t try to access the new data-root. That’s why I hoped to find a solution here.

You might try changing the volumes to be somewhere other than /var/discourse/shared/standalone I presume that you already deleted /var/discourse/shared?

I did a rm -R /var/discourse and followed the official install guide as one of the first steps. [תמונה] Jay Pfaffman: You might try changing the volumes to be somewhere other than /var/discourse/shared/standalone I’ll try that!

[תמונה] Jay Pfaffman: You might try changing the volumes to be somewhere other than /var/discourse/shared/standalone I tried both a directoy on the same disk as well als a folder in “data-root” - nothing changed. Why does the rm command fail? I assume this is still the file system of the operating system (as opposed to inside the container) - and that operation works if I repeat the command in the shell.

Then that’s your problem. This is a docker issue, not a Discourse issue.

My guess is that it has to do with permissions or the drive not being there somehow.
